BILLY'S MASONIC TAVERN an open source improvised sound recording project

Recorded by sound specialist Greg K at the original Tavern location in Western Hill.


WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE TAVERN.
An "open source improvised sound recording project" is a good place to start, but it doesn't really say it all.
Everyone who came out was welcome to come up on stage and make some noise. There was always a wide variety of instruments to choose from and people were encouraged to play instruments they'd never played before, chant, tell jokes and make up songs off the 'top of their heads.' These sessions were recorded and digitally archived for posterity and beyond . . .
Persons who've passed thru have described the experience as: conceptual art, a noise band, a jam band, an initiation, group therapy, vibrational medicine, stream of consciousness sound poetry, a bunch of guys just hanging out and 'going off,' fifth-dimensional physical/psychological healing technology, primal scream therapy, a modern day 'Rites of Eleusis,' philanthropic anarchism, pure genius and utter crap.
Words cannot describe the Tavern.
No matter how much I say or how many of the recordings you listen to, you will still only be experiencing a very small part of what BMT was/is in truth.

to the gods that would enslave free spirits

WE ARE COME
From an angle perpendicular to the ten directions

KNOW
a time more eternal than eternity
A space far more infinite than infinity
And some(no)thing greater than this

We have been sitting in your blind spot
Since before you existed
Observing
Laughing
Loving
Learning



The hour of limitation has passed
It is the time of FREEDOM at last!

Achaita.


"Kerry, imagine a movement
based on a man, instead of an
idea. Consider the advantages.
A man possesses many ideas.
He is more flexible than an
ideology," Brother-in-law went on
in a voice filled with warmth and
emotion. "People can identify
with a man as they cannot identify
with cold, abstract ideas. Think of
that – a movement based on a
man."
